A Bathing Idyl.
Boston Courier.I

Beside the grand old ocean,
she stood in rapt devotion,
And her looks they seemed to grasp some wis
ionaTy land,
Then she turned about her traces,
One OF the barefoot grsces,
And her Hairy feet retreating, made postIholes
IN the sand.
High water mark she reached,
And she stood like one bewitched,
And the salt tears trickled past her little nose,
The hath house number she
Had forgotten-misery
The bewitehing creature couldn't Sfinds her
clothes.
Then all of her devotion
For the nasty salt old ocean,
Was forgotten in her anger as she sTore,
And up the beach s ne fed,
While her cheeks were flaming red,
For flannel blouse was all that the little dSr-
ling wore.

A half-cup ammonia to q pail of warm
water will cleanse hard-hnished walls
nicely; of course the water should be
changed when much soiled.
Perhaps some ladies would like to know
that milliners use an ordinary polish for
ladies' shoes to renovate old black straw
hats. Brush out the dust first.
Graham pudding-Two cups Of graham
-four, one cup of molasses, one cup sweet
milk, one cup chopped raisins, two tea
spoonsluls soda. Steam three hours.
Lemon marmalade-Tske lemons, peel
and extract the seed. Boil the lemons IN
til soft, and the Juice and pulp with a
pound of sugar to pound OF lemon. Boil
to thicken.
For luncheon or supper some slices of
sturgeon, boiled with little vinegar and
some sweet herbs and eaten cold are quite
en- ePicure's dish, and surprise to those
who consider sturgeon common" dish.
q Brown bread-Two-thirds of a cup of
molasses two cups sour milk, one cup
sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls of soda, one
of salt, one cup -four, four cups corn meal.
Steam three hours and brown a few mia
utes in the oven. e
Delicate pie-Whltes two eggs, four
tablespoons cream, one large spoonful
-four, one cup white sugar, one cup cold
water; flavor with lemon. Line pie-plate
with pastry, pour in the mixture and bake
at once.
Soup from canned peas is excellent. Boil
quart in three quarts of water until
tender, and press these through a colander
back into the water they were boiled in.
Scrape and slice two carrots, two or three
onions, adding little thyme, some celery
seed, pepper and salt, and boil these with
the peas. Instead of the carrots you can
use three cucumbers, sliced and seeded,
but not pared, as the skins do not go into
the final preparation of the soup. Serve
with sippets Of bread fried in bacon fat.

Women's Flat Chests.

Every women will, of course, deny
that she laces. a very eminent lady
specialist Of New York said, however,
few weeks since that you could not
lay the weight Of your finger on an ex-
posed vein without limiting It's natural
flow of blood. She also said that she
had not had female patient for many
months who had drawn a full breath,
one which expanded her lungs to their
full capacity for a year. The doctors
and druggists could, if they chose, tell
a story concerning American women
which would TO the intelligent ear be
startling. They say that a perfectly
sound girl Of 20 is uncommon in society.
The female aristocracy in one section OF
the land have decreed fat chests to be
the proper thing, because many of them,
through relaxed muscles and diminutive
strength, were poverty-stricken in curv-
ing lines Of beauty. They had a fine
working majority with which to pass
the fashionable law. Those fat chests
were simply the result of a generation
or so OF dressing and living ON the fash
ionable American plan.

Squirrels Feed on $1,000.

John o. Mahony, an eccentric farmer,
died in the town OF Morris about six
weeks ago, aged slIty-ive years, and
delligent search failed to disclose the
large sum of money he was supposed to
have secreted in the house. Several
persons were suspected OF having taken
the money. but no proofs could be OBJ
tained. A few days ago two men,
James Wilson and Paul Nash, both of
Morris, were out hunting, and shot at
and wounded large gray squirrel,
which crawled into an old box that was
percked between two branches Of a tree
high above the surrounding limbs.
One OF the men climbed into the tree.
and, with considerable difficulty, reach
ed the box. When he opened it he
found the squirrel stretched out dead on
a pile of chewed-up bank notes. Not a
single bill had been left intact by the
squirrels, and it is estimated that the
sum contained in the box was at least
5000. Several residents now remem-
Der having seen Mr.. Mahoney going to-
ward the tree on different occasions,
and there is no doubt but that the mon
ey found was hidden by him.

Indian Corn.

Like many other members OF the vast
and valuable vegetable kingdom, In
dian corn or maize has long attracted
the stteution of writers, and its Origin
has been the occasion of much discus

certain classes of authors to attribute
almost every plant and animal TO East

it was ih chat hemisphere the Garden Of
Eden was believed to have been placed
and many things, all the way from po'
tatoes TO turkeys, were traced across
the sea. Alphonse de Csndolle, tns
eminent botanist, thoroughly examined
the subject thirty years ago, and states
that "maiZe is of American origin, anu

How Music Boxes Are Made.
The orincipre of manufacture is sin

The principle of manufacture is sim
pie. The different parts comprise a
brass roller studded with fine points of
the hardest steel, steel comb, the
teeth of which give the sounds, a spring
to give the revolving motion to the CYL
inder and fly wheel or fan to regu-
late the revolving motion. The music
has first to be arranged by a thorough
artist. The cylinder which comes from
the machine shop is then placed in the
hancs of a woman, who with the aid of
the music and very ingenious machine,
marks tie places on the cylinder where
the points are to be inserted. Another
person drills all the little holes, and an
other inserts the points. The cylinder
IS then iiled with molten cement and
then placed on a lathe and revoled
quickly. The cement adheres to the in
side surface and thus holds the points.
a hole is left in the center of tbs cyl
inder for the axis. The points are then
fed down so as to be of equal length,
The comb is turned by tuner, who first
files the teeth, without excessive care,
to give them the proper iexibility, and
then files them near the base to lower
the tones and near the point to sharpen
the tones. The operation of fastening
the cylinder and comb to the bed plate
requires much accuracy, SO that the
points of the cylinder and the comb will
exactly meet. A woman following the
music then bends the points on the cyl
inder slightly forward in order to secure
more strength, but more especially to
make the cords drop simultaneously and
cause the runs or roulades to play even
ly.
Size in music boxs increases both
their volumes and their richness in tone.
A cylinder ten inches long can be made
to play six, eight, ten or twelve airs
better and with more sweetness and har-
mony Of sound than i. can De made to
play greater number. The reason Of
this is that more points on the cylinder
and more teeth in the comb can be used
for each air if there are fewer airs. II
the cylinder is increased in diameter the
airs may be prolonged. A music box is
like watch. 1t Will last a lifetime II
it Is good to begin with, and is treated
well and with care. Most owners of
music boxes object to using them except
for company. The fact is, music box
should be used every day, just as a
watch should be wound up every day.

Coffee Consumption.

The Hollanders are the greatest coffee
drinkers in the world, their annual con-
sumption being about eighteen pounds
per head of the whole population
Amsterdam has long been one of the
great coffee marts of the world, and.
being admitted free of duty, coffee is
very cheap. Next come Belgium and
Denmark, in which the consumption
per capita is about half of that OF Hol-
land. Next come the United States, in
which the consumption per capita in
1880 was eight and eight-tenths pounds
The present consumption of coffee in
the United States may be stated at a
little over one pound per week for each
family in the nation. In the use of tea
and coffee the people of England and
the United States present most re.
markable contrast. The annual con-
sumption Of tie people of England is
just about a pound of coffee per head
or about ons-eighth Of that of the peo-
pie of the United States. Comparing
the consumption of tea with that of
coffee, it will be found that, while the
people of the United States ase about
five pounds of coffee to one of tea, the
people of England use five pounds of tea
TO one OF coffee.
There are fashions in coffee. as in
almost everything. At Alden and Alex
andria the Mocha coffee is carefully
picked over and assorted, in compliance
with the singular fashion in trade which
creates a demand in Europe for the
larger beans, while the United States
will have none Dut tie smaller ones.
In point of fact, the larger beans are
the best. being fully developed, more
perfect in appearance and flavor.

Care OF Work Horses.

Frequently the farm horse suffers
from oyerfeeding, and from being
worked on full stomach; for farm
horses eat all the time, and look lean
and wire coated-:wo certain proofs of
chronic indigestion. Horses whici
have passed many hours in work, when
released from harness are allowed to
drink all the water their exhausted sys-
stems crave for then, with the mater
ial of a small iceberg in their distend-
ed inner oIgans, they are turned loose
to further iDJure themselves by gazing
an the pasture ; or, if the farmer is well
20 do, they go to the barn, and there, tor
mented by II les, mosquitoes ard other
winged pests, devour a carelessly pre-
pared ration, after which the remainder
of the night is passed in stamping and
fighting insects. Farm horses are over
fed, commonly, insufliciently groomed,
ana never judiciously either housed or
clothed. In summer, farm work ought
TO commence with the rising of the sun, b,
and cease at noon, when men and
horses should seek the friendly shelter
of the house and stable. The horses
just from the field ought then to be
stripped of all harness, have their eyes
and uOstrils washed out, the mark of
the harness washed off, and then be
well rubbed with a ''wisp''-which sim
pie and inexpensive stable implement is
far better for the horse than is q brush, b,
whose coarse stalks irritate the skin and
temper the suffering beast. The wisp
soothes and causes a healthy action OF
the skin, when the horses have been
thus attended to, and they have cooled
off.

PROM LIFE TO DEATH

the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They fly from one part 10 another without

MastOdsns In Alaska.

The Free Press, paper published al
Juneau, Alaska, the lates: issue oi
which reached San Francisco last week
| makes the statement, gained from D
II. Summers, formerly of Denver, Col.
but now mining in Alaska, that living
mountains of that territory. Mr.. Sum.
mers got the story from the Stick In.
dians Of Alaska. An Indian who came
across one of these supposed-to-be-
extinct monsters, whose track was
about the size of barreI-head, did not
stop very long in the giant brute's vi
cinity. The account says:
These Indians, as a rule, are the
bravest hunters. With no other weap.
on5 than their spear they Will attack
and kill a grizzly, but the immense
proportions ot this new style of game
both startled and filed the hunter,
brave as be was, with great fear. He
described it as being larger than Post
Trader Harper's store, with shining
yellowish tusks and a mouth large
enough 20 swallow him at a single
gulp. He said the animal was doubt
less similar to those which furnished
the immense bones scattered over that
section. If such animals are now in
existence, and Mr.. Summers has no
reason to doubt the veracity of the In
dian, as other Indians and also Mr..
Harper confirmed it, they inhabit a
section very high in altitude but rarely
visited by human beings. We also
have no reason to DOUBT the Indian
tale for at DO distant period the You
kon country was inhabited by these
animals, as hundreds OF other massive
skeletons s.rewn along the creeks are
silent but truthful witnesses. On For
ty Mile Creek bones can be found pro-
jecting partly from the sand and among
the driftwood of the stream on the
creek. Below this the skeletons are
also quite numerous.
